Its story
The Taşköprü Highland is about 50 km from central Gümüşhane, in the upper part of the Yağmurdere valley, and according to news reports is at an altitude of about 2,140 meters. It is reached from the center by following the Arzularkabaköy and Yağmurdere road. The area, at the center of many highland pastures around it, is known for its proximity to points such as the Santa Ruins, Çakırgöl and the Krom Valley. Go Türkiye states that the highland has accommodation options, areas suitable for grass and snow skiing, and opportunities for photography and plant observation. In the summer months, festival-like events have also been organized by the provincial directorate of youth and sports. The mornings when fog fills the valleys are the highland's most impressive moments.
